Black Diamond Men Spot 325 Headlamp

Product Information

Still, our one issue with the Nitecore NU 25 is battery life. When using the max light output of 360 lumens, it only lasts 0.5 hour–which is the lowest time of the headlamps we tested. However, in low light mode, it runs for 160 hours, which is better than some other rechargeable headlamps, like the BioLite 330. Still, it’s lower but in the general ballpark of AAA battery headlamps like the Spot 400. The advantage of flashlights over headlamps is that they allow you to focus your beam better. Some runners, for example, prefer a flashlight to a headlamp because they can precisely focus their beam directly in front of them on the trail. If your headlamp comes with spare bulbs, O-rings, or other accessories, store them in a place where you'll actually remember them! Consider putting a note for what they are. If you end up losing them or throwing them out, many manufacturers will replace them for free or a small fee.

When it comes to headlamps, the brightness levels are measured by a term called lumens. The higher the lumens, the brighter your headlamp will be. Many of the headlamps on this list come at all different types of lumen levels, which is probably why you are asking what lumen level should I buy? If reading your map by headlamp, use the white mode. This is because some topo lines and colors do not show up well in red-light mode. When turned on, the brightness of the rechargeable battery and AAA batteries is the same. However, with the rechargeable battery, the brightness is generally constant during the burn time. This is a perk compared to standard batteries, where the brightness gradually decreases as the batteries are drained. Finding a good light among the sea of cheap, unreliable ones can be tough, though. We reviewed 33 of the best headlamps and spent 200+ nights testing them to find headlamps that are bright, reliable, comfortable, and easy-to-use.As an ultralight headlamp, we didn't expect the battery life to be on the same level as headlamps with batteries that are three times the weight. The new Spot 325 features a more compact design, updated user interface, and improved multi-faceted optical lens design that not only saves battery life but also provides a powerful 325 lumens of light, making it the perfect light for pre-work dawn patrols, after-dark trail runs and climbing days that don’t always fit into 9 to 5. With 1,600 lumens of brightness, more than twice any of most of our winners, it's a favorite in the running community. The Spotlight can get up to 1600 lumens at 951 feet for 2 hours. The Nitecore UT27 520 is a hybrid headlamp that runs on both AAA batteries as well as a rechargeable lithium battery, similar to the Petzl Actik Core.

Offering excellent optics, a bright wide beam, and strong performance for the price, the Spot is one of our favorites The floodlight casts a wide light and is pretty soft. I like to use this when I am at the campground cooking or doing something that requires more light than the red light. Strobe Light The rechargeable CORE battery that comes with the Actik Core is a USB-rechargeable lithium battery that fits in the battery compartment. The CORE battery can be removed and replaced. This means if you carry an extra battery, you don’t have to worry about pass-through charging. You can charge one battery at night while using this Petzl headlamp with the other battery inside. It’s the convenience of AAA batteries without the weight or waste. Adjust the beam angle of your headlamp appropriately. In crowded outdoor spaces or on shared trails, angle the light downward to avoid blinding others. For tasks like reading or working up close, tilt it upward to focus the light where you need it. Leave No Trace Outdoor Ethics offers guidance on how to respect other users in the outdoors. Avoid staring directly into others' eyes Often, headlamps with the most beam distance require more juice from batteries. Most headlamp companies will tell you lumens and distance in their specs. However, brand-reported numbers may be faulty. See our graph representing distance for more information on distance thrown. BATTERY LIFE — ANSI FL1 STANDARDThe Tikkina has 2 hours of battery life at max power (250 lumens), 9 hours of battery life at standard power (100 lumens), and 120 hours of battery life at low power (6 lumens). This is less than most of the other headlamps we considered, which is to be expected given the budget cost of the Tikkina. Still, it’s competitive with other headlamps in this price range and is good enough for casual use. Valaisin on entistä tehokkaampi uudistuneen optisen linssin ansiosta.
